Peter, you have some great photos on your site. I see that you have  
added more material. Really cool!

Don't forget to make some screenshots of the apps (especially the S- 
Graphics stuff) and publish those. ;-) There are almost no useful  
screenshots of the color and graphics apps that I have seen published.

For those interested, screenshots on the Symbolics are done with  
FUNCTION 1 Q, then you get a dialog window, where you can set a lot of  
options, including where the image is saved, etc. More infos about the  
FUNCTION key are available via FUNCTION HELP.
